I remember doing this and getting guff from my parents for claiming that I could read. In reality I had simply memorized one of my favorite books.

Once again an awesome costume from my mother-in-law. Enjoy the gallery!

In the following video:

A fun little video of Scarlett going from QUITE far away to pretty local in demonstrating where we live.

In an ever so slightly different universe this would have been Scarlett’s childhood:

We had an inflatable pool for use with ball pit balls, but I thought it would be fun to take it outside so Scarlett could play with a water in a different way than usual.

Some people still treat TV as if it’s the boob tube (that’s boob as in dummy, not breast). But Scarlett’s kid’s cartoons led her to learn some stuff that led to the following exchange:

Danielle (rhetorically): Why does this monkey have a frog on its head?

Eric: It’s Swedish. (The toy is from Ikea)

Danielle: What?

Scarlett: No, it’s symbiosis!

Eric: Symbiosis? (I wonder if she knows what it means) What does that mean?
